Available at
<clip>Defines a time segment of interest within a recording or within a digital audio or video file.
<graphic>Indicates the location of an inline graphic.
<recording>A recorded performance.
<surface>Defines a writing surface in terms of a rectangular coordinate space, optionally grouping one or more graphic representations of that space, and rectangular zones of interest within it.
<arpeg>Indicates that the notes of a chord are to be performed successively rather than simultaneously, usually from lowest to highest. Sometimes called a "roll".
<breath>An indication of a point at which the performer on an instrument requiring breath (including the voice) may breathe.
<reh>In an orchestral score and its corresponding parts, a mark indicating a convenient point from which to resume rehearsal after a break.
<turn>An ornament consisting of four notes — the upper neighbor of the written note, the written note, the lower neighbor, and the written note.
<caesura>Break, pause, or interruption in the normal tempo of a composition. Typically indicated by "railroad tracks", i.e., two diagonal slashes.
<barre>A barre in a chord tablature grid.
<beamSpan>Alternative element for explicitly encoding beams, particularly those which extend across bar lines.
<bend>A variation in pitch (often micro-tonal) upwards or downwards during the course of a note.
<bracketSpan>Marks a sequence of notational events grouped by a bracket.
<fermata>An indication placed over a note or rest to indicate that it should be held longer than its written value. May also occur over a bar line to indicate the end of a phrase or section. Sometimes called a 'hold' or 'pause'.
<gliss>A continuous or sliding movement from one pitch to another, usually indicated by a straight or wavy line.
<hairpin>Indicates continuous dynamics expressed on the score as wedge-shaped graphics, e.g., < and >.
<harpPedal>Harp pedal diagram.
<lv>A "tie-like" indication that a note should ring beyond its written duration.
<octave>An indication that a passage should be performed one or more octaves above or below its written pitch.
<pedal>Piano pedal mark.
<slur>Indication of 1) a "unified melodic idea" or 2) performance technique.
<tie>An indication that two notes of the same pitch form a single note with their combined rhythmic values.
<tuplet>A group of notes with "irregular" (sometimes called "irrational") rhythmic values, for example, three notes in the time normally occupied by two or nine in the time of five.
<tupletSpan>Alternative element for encoding tuplets, especially useful for tuplets that extend across bar lines.
<mordent>An ornament indicating rapid alternation of the main note with a secondary note, usually a step below, but sometimes a step above.
<trill>Rapid alternation of a note with another (usually at the interval of a second above).
<sp>Contains an individual speech in a performance text.
<stageDir>Contains any kind of stage direction within a dramatic text or fragment.
<cpMark>A verbal or graphical indication to copy musical material written elsewhere.
<metaMark>A graphical or textual statement with additional / explanatory information about the musical text. The textual consequences of this intervention are encoded independently via other means; that is, with elements such as <add>, <del>, etc.
<fing>An individual finger in a fingering indication.
<fingGrp>A group of individual fingers in a fingering indication.
<f>Single element of a figured bass indication.
<harm>An indication of harmony, e.g., chord names, tablature grids, harmonic analysis, figured bass.
<annot>Provides a statement explaining the text or indicating the basis for an assertion.
<attacca>An instruction to begin the next section or movement of a composition without pause.
<dir>An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols, typically above, below, or between staves, but not on the staff — that is not encoded elsewhere in more specific elements, like <tempo>, <dynam> or <repeatMark>.
<dynam>Indication of the volume of a note, phrase, or section of music.
<grpSym>A brace or bracket used to group two or more staves of a score or part.
<ornam>An element indicating an ornament that is not a mordent, turn, or trill.
<phrase>Indication of 1) a "unified melodic idea" or 2) performance technique.
<repeatMark> An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols – segno and coda – typically above, below, or between staves, but not on the staff.
<tempo>Text and symbols descriptive of tempo, mood, or style, e.g., "allarg.", "a tempo", "cantabile", "Moderato", "♩=60", "Moderato ♩ =60").
<curve>A curved line that cannot be represented by a more specific element, such as a slur.
<line>A visual line that cannot be represented by a more specific; i.e., semantic, element.
<symbol>A reference to a previously defined symbol.
<anchoredText>Container for text that is fixed to a particular page location, regardless of changes made to the layout of the measures around it.

<arpeg>Indicates that the notes of a chord are to be performed successively rather than simultaneously, usually from lowest to highest. Sometimes called a "roll".
